Motel Music Part. II

Johnny Hardstaff

Motel Music Part.II, a short film directed by Johnny Hardstaff for French artist Jimmy Whoo, closes out Whoo’s Motel Music chapters (2014-2017) with a twisted tale about men and motors.
“The unapologetically feminist short revenge film ‘Motel Music Part. II’ looks to debunk the myth that a car can get a man laid, taking aim squarely at the macho contemporary cinema of Winding Refn’s ‘Drive’ amongst countless others, and in so doing offering a refreshing recalibration of the stereotypically masculine relationship between cars, violence and sexual conquest.” - Johnny Hardstaff
